Rule #2: Do Good

A NOTE FROM PASTOR CAREY    

Hi Church!

I am honored to be a part of this wonderful church family and to be serving as the Pastor of Community Life. My husband Brendan and I have already received such a warm welcome, and I am excited to continue getting to know all of you! As the Word says in Isaiah 43:19, I believe God is doing a new thing in me, and in the life of this church, and I look forward to the future with hopeful anticipation to see what God will do!

This week I’m looking forward to diving into the second of Wesley’s 3 rules that are a foundation for Christian living – to Do Good. I may be biased, but I think this is my favorite of the three rules. It calls us from a passive faith to one that is ACTIVE, as we seek out ways to show the love of Christ to the world. This is what it means to live in to our shared mission to be the heart St. Pete! We’ll learn from the example of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, as well as the words of Jesus from John 13:34-35.

See you Sunday,

— Pastor Carey
